# NOVA vs Roll.

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Roll. at 100% against NOVA's 37%. Roll. also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). NOVA's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 3) and chart position (#168 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NOVA sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Roll. asks for nothing beyond the download.

Roll. holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3.

Written reviews point the same way: 37% of NOVA's written reviews are positive against 100% of Roll.'s.

NOVA ships an update every 3 weeks, Roll. every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
